However, when searching through the plethora of leaflets one day, I found the one for The Cinnamon Tree, and gave it a go. Their Lamb or Chicken Dansak is very tasty and filling, made, I believe with free range chicken. It is completely dairy-free as is their vegetable curry, although the Dansak is quite spicy even on the milder setting- recommended with Soya yoghurt if you have some in the fridge! The service is quick, although sometimes we've had an item missed off our order but they've re-delivered it with apologies. All in all an excellent delivery service, and they are more than helpful when it comes to asking them about ingredients and suggesting alternative dishes. The portions are massive and can easily feed two. Thumbs Up

However, on Saturday, my hockey team had their mid-season boys' curry night out here. The restaurant was already busy and boisterous by the time we arrived. They absorbed our group without too much effort I had already taken a little peep at their menu on-line and was impressed by the range of different dishes on offer besides the usual suspects like korma, rogan josh, etc. We took advantage to order a variety of dishes to share from the specials section. This ranged from lamb shank to chicken rajeshwari. The food looked good on arrival but sadly, it was hard to really taste distinctive notes in each dish. I found that the flavours really amalgamated into much the same taste in my mouth The mango lassi was yummy though. So the search for my local go to curry house continues

I am always looking for a good indian restaurant with really spicy curries and last night we…read morediscovered this little gem. After talking to the waiter I opted for a Chicken Tindaloo which according to him was their hottest curry (although Pall is suppose to be hotter and listed on the menu). As always you have to goad them a bit as well otherwise they hold back on the spice. I was not disappointed in the least - I think this was pretty close to the hottest dish I have been served in a restaurant and it was fantastic! Otherwise; Service is excellent, prices are reasonable, menu is huge (so obivously you can order something less spice if you were so inclined) and portions are decent. Poppadom appetizer was the best I ever had.

Dishoom pays homage to the food of Bombay, and I was thrilled that they serve such a large and extensive breakfast menu! The restaurant is huge and beautiful - with lots of art deco touches! The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant just had great vibes - even the smell of the place (incense mixing with their delicious food) was great. I had their Kejriwal (two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast - "a modern favourite of the Willingdon Club in Tardeo, reputedly named for the member who kept asking for the dish, since he was not allowed eggs at home"), which was delicious. My husband had their bacon & egg naan roll with a side of masala beans, which he loved (he's even been trying to recreate the beans at home since we got back from London). With a large menu of other options and tons of beverage options (from alcoholic brunch options to chai to iced coffee), they have everything you could want for a great breakfast. We had a great breakfast at this Kensington location of Dishoom. I'd happily return to one of their other locations and have any meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

The main room is quite small but there's additional seating in the back area. The menu has a standard range of Indian starters; and for mains, Tandoori options, curries, balti and biryani dishes. There are vegetarian options for some of the curries, balti dishes and biryanis, and a good choice of side dishes, rice and breads. There's quite an extensive wine list but we opted for Indian beers. The choice of 5 pickles and sauces for poppadoms was excellent, and actually would make a good starter option. The food itself overall was good - classic local Indian fare, rather than anything particularly special. Service on our visit was friendly and efficient. Poppadoms, starters and mains with drinks, rice, a few side dishes and rice, came to £30 a head - not bad for Wimbledon Village. A reliable local option.

Absolutely delicious dinner!…read more We made reservations online about 2 months ago. 5:15 dinner worked well for us since we had a show at 7. We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai. Beer came with a frosted glass. The chai was delicious! The food was amazing! Goan monkfish curry Ruby chicken Saffron cauliflower Garlic naan Basmati rice Everything was superb!

We were between this and the chicken ruby but were told it's just like butter chicken and were recommended this-- the highlight, chicken flavorful and tender, and I liked the pickled sides House black daal (11.7): their signature dish-- decent, pretty heavy and filling but nothing to sing about Roomali Roti (5.5): we were going to get the garlic naan, but the waiter said that's something you can get anywhere so we got the roti which he recommended-- however, this completely lacked flavor. I've had better roti in Malaysia and in the US lol Garlic naan (5.5): we ultimately got this because we didn't like the roti, but this also the garlic flavor was not shining through Other recommended dishes: chicken berry britannia with raita, charred lamb chops, murgh malai, okra fries Tip: you have to buy the rice, naan etc separately. Also heads up there's a 12.5% service charge.

I order chicken somosa, fish tikka, and a kebab (which the host gave us complimentary). Not one thing didn't take good, so much so I ordered somosa's to go. From there my main course came. I had butter chicken with rice, boy was it good. I've had Indian food many times before but this one was on a whole other level. The chicken was tender and full of flavor and the rice was super fluffy. All in all great, and the next time I want Indian food here in the UK this will be my go too.

Today, I discovered that they have been charging a service charge on my receipts, despite the fact that this is illegal for restaurants and hotels. When I brought this up with the staff, they became defensive and thought that I was arguing with them. However, the receipt clearly states that the service charge is optional, which suggests that the restaurant is engaging in some illegal activity intentionally. I would advise anyone considering dining at this restaurant to check their receipts carefully and be wary of any additional charges.

AN AMAZING INDIAN I…read morelike great indian/pakistani food and I like great friendly service and this place delivers on both fronts. From the outside it looks very small but what it lacks in width it makes up for in depth. There are many tables and they are spaced apart well enough for some privacy. The first thing that struck me is how friendly the staff are. In most Indian Restaraunts the staff are polite but not overly friendly. I remarked to my friends that they all must have been on a customer service course because they smiled, asked how we were and came around asking how we found the food. I have been back a few times both with a large group of 10/12 friends and as a couple. The service is always incredibly friendly, although with 12 friends it was a bit slow but what do you expect if you dont pre-order? Everyone who has been with me agrees the food is excellent. The place is clean and the prices are reasonable. A big thumbs up from me.
